Episode 423: CES, ETF, WTF?

**The first 3:55 of the live show have been erased into the ether due to an audio issue.

We tried to cover what was released at CES this year, but it all seems expensive or does not solve any problems we have. Hopefully, we'll be there next year to bring you the good stuff. Dave starts the show off with a helpful protip to make space on your iPhone, and we've got some great picks at the end, enjoy!
